I had the local Lexus garage do it. They did call me during the day to say they couldn’t move the bolts and would have to put heat or burn but heating only did the job thank goodness

hi Keith, sorry, I'm not clear on your knock (it's probably me).  Are you saying the knock was from your O/S rear wheel bearing?

The bushes , one on the cross member was a little loose so it may have been that but wasn’t but the bush on the offside rear wheel that was the problem. 

Smooth and quite now. 

Due a back/neck problem I wanted a comfortable car that I could get into & out with out a lot of bending. Strange that it seems I can get in and out of a small two door car, say a 107   better than a large four door. Anyway I exstreamly surprised to find everything I needed plus much more in the Lexus. 

Have a few thing that miss due to the age but can and, I think will have to live with, unless someone knows better?

1) can’t upgrade the Map to latest version.

2) can’t download my phone directory. 

3) the 12v conection is way down and out of reach if I connect fm adapter. 

Not a great list of wants so well pleased but need to change f/s front light as it’s has condensation inside and n/s screen washer is a bit lacklustre, are pump individual or a a pair. 

Overall I’m well pleased 😁    

Hi, I just brought a RX 400x x 2007. When I picked it up it had knock in the boot area and after checking the MOT and Lexus paperwork I found that according a free courtesy check completed on it’s previous service saying “knock in rear probably coming from loose spare wheel” but no it was bearing on F/s rear wheel. Plan for worse hope for best 😂
